IPOH, Jan 20 — A café owner in Ipoh is offering the public free cendol after buying a generous amount of it from a roadside stall.

Through a Facebook post by Viral Perak, the owner of Ipoh Station Cafe had visited a roadside stall selling cendol in Taman Shatin Baru that was run by an elderly woman.

The café owner then paid in advance for the cendol and asked the public to collect it for free from the stall as a way of showing support for small businesses.

"For those who want free cendol, you can come to this aunty’s stall.”

"Everything has been paid, just come and eat, you can take-away also.”

"Pity this aunty who has been selling under the hot sun but there’s no customers, please support her,” Viral Perak captioned the post.

The post was later shared on Ipoh Station Café Facebook page.

"Alhamdulillah, if the amount that we’ve paid has finished, we would like to ask everyone to continue supporting this aunty by buying her cendol, it’s really delicious.”

"We support small businesses,” they said in the post.

The initial post by Viral Perak has garnered over 1,000 likes and has been shared over 200 times on Facebook with users applauding the café owner’s efforts.
